Putting Up Resistance Riddim – Tappa, Don Corleon

Putting Up Resistance produced by Tappa Zukie, Carlton Barrett, Donovan Bennett for Tappa, Don Corleon in 1989

Originally produced by Tappa Zukie, Carlton Barrett and Donovan Bennett for Tappa/Don Corleon in 1989, Putting Up Resistance Riddim is anchored by Beres Hammond’s title cut and later carried through a strong run of voices that includes U-Roy, Brigadier Jerry, Frankie Paul, Cutty Ranks, Half Pint, Leroy Smart and Sugar Minott. The riddim is most closely tied to Beres Hammond’s classic anthem, and that song helped define the project’s rebellious, rootsy mood. With 14 tracks in all, it stretches from the late-80s original to early-90s follow-ups like Nando Boom’s Resistencia Es Debil and the Beres Hammond and U-Roy version Resistance, giving the set a wide dancehall-to-roots reach.
